"Political resistance is the key to your own nourishment and survival," said one member of Black Star Farmers. "When you take the skills to grow your own food into your own hands, you become a more resilient human." This statement encapsulates the essence of self-sufficiency and empowerment through sustainable gardening practices, signaling a move towards independence and resilience that is especially vital for marginalized communities.
After years of neglect, the New Holly P-Patch is now thriving thanks to community efforts led by Black Star Farmers. Volunteers transformed the garden to not only provide nourishment but also to foster connections among the East African and Southeast Asian immigrant residents, emphasizing the importance of community engagement and cultural exchange through shared gardening experiences.
